Just Meaningful Plastic: A DWTS Retrospective

You are cordially invited to the ballroom on Planet Mirrorballus for a luncheon with Your Hosts and Judges! Dining with us will be an unsurprising new suitor for Katy, a Mr. Waznawowski, and a trio of icons (two of them queens). The Lady Legwarmer will of course make drop in. Discussions will cover respectable topics like the definition of being out-danced and Grease. Please plan to stay for the WHOLE TIME. This cotillion will leave you saying bravo! Bravo! F’ing Bravo.

Here it is. The premiere of season 8 of Dancing with the Stars has arrived. The prelude to All-Stars is upon us! A well-danced and -produced premiere provides the fodder for surprises, excitement, judgement, betrayals, and so much more. Your Hosts and Judges want to talk about it all, so good luck following any sort of logic!

Keep this big wheel turning, and let Proud Mary keep on burning! For this finale of season 7 of Dancing with the Stars, as usual, it is time for a smack down and an inexplicable amount of RHOSLC references. An audibly exhausted Chris and an only initially calm Katy are once again on opposite sides and devolve into arguing, and it’s basically for no reason. Why are you gagging, they bring it to you every finale.

The most exciting semi-final ever… is not this one! Despite this, Chris and Katy are here to excite with the most fabulous vision for Katy’s future hypothetical wedding in our penultimate episode about DWTS7. The final three is revealed to us and there shouldn’t be a shock who makes it on, but get ready for a shock about Dancing with the Stars’ 31st and 32nd seasons (which happened weeks ago already, oops)! Betrayals, changes of heart, combative energy, solos, and Galinda Girls abound in this place. And would you believe that a fight brews over Lance Bass that's not really about Lance at all?

How to describe this one? 1, 2, 3- atrocious. The opposite of atrocious is, of course, Edyta. Praise for the Queen of Zoos, Lady Legwarmer, the Beautiful Swamp Witch, Our City Mouse abounds here because we are who we are. We’re here to give tips on the kicks, just like we always do. Even better than them, though- Jerry, Kenny, and Len are here to give the people what they need in a new edition of DanceCenter!!!!

And if you want to try to understand the complete non sequitur that is the Stuart Little remark, here you go: https://youtu.be/VeL4c_cXSyQ

Welcome back to the disco inferno, you… I’m thinking of a word, and while I can't think of it, I know it’s “*something* hoe”. As usual, it’s chaotic energy as Chris reveals far more personal information than intended and Katy sees red as echoes of her ballroom tragedies reverberate across seasons. And if you put money on an obscure NYC-only musical commercial from the 80s as this week's joke-to-be-turned-into-a-dead-horse, well, good news for you! Season 7 is continuing as normally as expected.

Karma is a b*tch, folks, as is Chris’ computer. But you’d never tell that this was our longest recording session ever, plagued with technical difficulties! Unless you can tell where there’s missing audio, which, um, there definitely isn’t any. And if you’re wondering if Chris will ever record a pod in a house with three kids under 5 again, the answer is a resounding teeheehee. But enjoy some SPECIAL GUEST STARS to discuss weeks 2 and 3 of DWTS season 7!

If we don’t write a proper description, WE could be going home.

If we don’t keep beating a dead horse, WE could be going home.

If we don’t avoid saying things that could be considered slanderous, WE could be going home.

If we don’t stan a middle-aged woman and/or psychoanalyze her, WE could be going home.

If you don’t start the episode and we don’t end this bit right now, WE could be going home.

Did you forget something? Yes: Cloris! And now that she’s been found, everyone is losing their minds, Chris and Katy included. Well, mostly Chris. His brain is off the rails. Katy is just leading him away from Diana the Musical and toward the star of DWTS, edition 7, Kim K! There may be a fight brewing about her, but at least there is one person they can agree upon- oh, Oprah!
